Highmark does much more than facility development. As experienced education professionals, we work alongside school boards, school leadership, finance managers, and teachers to assess the capacity of an organization and guide it on the journey toward academic and operational success, long-term financial health, and sustainability – all to ensure schools are creating environments where children can learn and grow.
We partner with schools to develop plans in the areas of academics, finance, governance, and operations so that they can deliver quality academics, sustainable financials, and a governing board aligned with the mission of the school.
We assist authorizers and associations seeking to boost school support and augment staffing during peak work periods.
We provide performance oversight to investors and charter authorizers to ensure schools are viable and high-quality.
We understand that school challenges are complex and nuanced.
One-size solutions do not fit all. We customize services to help our partners overcome obstacles and achieve better outcomes.

Our first step is to get to know you and your organization. We’ll meet with you to dive deep into your key objectives, obstacles, and timelines. Together, we’ll assess strengths and areas of concerns. Once we have gained a deep understanding, we’ll formalize our collaborative work to improve the viability, sustainability, and growth of your school.
We are driven by a deep commitment to ensuring that all students have access to a great education.
Our hands-on education and school experience includes strategic school development, founding board leadership, policy development, operational improvement and procedural systems development, teaching, academic programming, school expansion and replication, and professional charter policy and advocacy organization management, and more.
Our team combines a variety of professional experience in business, marketing, non-profit management, school operations, instruction, accounting, and school finance. Collectively, Highmark’s education consultants have been serving the education space for nearly four decades in 18 states and the District of Columbia.
We believe our work helps schools create environments where children can learn and grow, where students can realize their full potential. We recognize the importance of collaboration and trust to drive the best outcomes. We are passionate about making a significant impact on the lives of students, teachers, school leaders, and communities.
